Great Swordsman
Ch.45 - Flying Knife

“So it takes 5 units of energy to ascend to the basic realm well? The amount is the same as the Shadow Step Technique.”

Xu Feng sighed in relief, the amount needed was at least not the same as the Heavenly Sword Technique.

The Body Lightening Technique was a technique that allowed the user to move lightly and quickly, but was different from the Shadow Step Technique which relied on the explosive power of the foot to perform rapid acceleration in an instant, The Body Lightening Technique instead really teaches how to lighten one's body to as light as a feather.

The usefulness of this technique is better than the Shadow Step Technique because it does not drain stamina, which means this technique can be used for a longer period of time.

“If I combine the Body Lightening Technique with the Shadow Step Technique, I don't know how fast will it be?” Xu Feng grinned, he was already impatient to wait for the result.

Xu Feng then put the book back down and picked up one more book, the title of which was the Steel Body Technique.

At the same time, the panel window was once again refreshed.

Steel Body Technique is a defense technique that not only strengthens the skin but also bones and muscles. Yet when Xu Feng read the contents of the book, his brows frowned slightly.

“This exercise is rather inhuman.”

Xu Feng let out a dry laugh, The Steel Body Technique requires one to soak in boiling water for six continuous hours each day while performing a unique breathing pattern, which breathing patterns are sometimes in a fast and slow tempo alternately.

“It is fitting that Elder Xue Lan said only the former Patriarch mastered this technique because the rest did not want to learn it, now I understand why they do not want to.” Xu Feng smiled wryly, he himself would think twice if he had to do that hellish exercise.

Xu Feng realized he was not perfect, the determination he had might not be as great as those geniuses and strong people out there.

“Support only there is panel.” At this point, Xu Feng was inevitably happy, the panel helped him through many things that required many people to suffer.

After looking around for a while, Xu Feng then left the room with Ding Xiang. The girl was a little astonished because all she saw was Xu Feng only lifting one book for a moment and then putting it back down, she said, he inevitably asked inwardly whether Xu Feng was not interested in those techniques.

“Protectors, let me prepare lunch.” Ding Xiang immediately headed towards the Villa kitchen when they arrived, which caused Xu Feng to look at him cutely.

To be honest, Ding Xiang's cooking was not very tasty at first, the latter was even very bitter and like poison. But to keep the girl feeling, Xu Feng could only swallow all the food while giving a fake smile, his heart was already crying by then.

But luckily the girl was growing and getting better day by day, Xu Feng finally slowly started to escape the hellish food that had been haunting her all along.

Not long after Shao Kun arrived after they had just finished eating, he whispered a simple word in Xu Feng's ear, finished.

“You did not disappoint.” Xu Feng rewarded before recalling something and asking the technique that Shao Kun mastered.

“Hamba only got two, same technique as Shao Jun.” Shao Kun replied briefly, he also explained that his mastery of both techniques was already at the advanced realms.

Xu Feng nodded and ordered Shao Kun to rewrite the technique in a book, he was honestly a little uncomfortable seeing so few techniques in the room earlier.

Naturally, Xu Feng had other plans, but it was still far in the future.

“Shao Kun, focus on your cultivation. I need your strength in the future.”

Xu Feng gave the final order. These two brothers would now be his right hand, however they would not be able to betray him.

Moreover, given their talent, it was rare to find someone capable of reaching the Third Stage and advanced mastery in two techniques at once, they were already rare even in the Lotus Sect once.

You should know that the two brothers are only 25 years old! Xu Feng would not throw away this unpolished gem.

“Hamba understands!” Shao Kun saluted and was a little pleased, he did not expect Xu Feng would rate him so highly.

Xu Feng was a miracle, being recognized by that person meant that he was recognized by future great candidates, he would naturally not take it as a matter of ease.

Following Xu Feng was like holding a golden thigh, Shao Kun understood it very well. It was precisely for this reason that he dared to give his vow, if it was someone else, he himself would choose to fight to the death rather than become a follower.

“Hamba says retreat.”

Shao Kun saluted before leaving, his face full of anticipation as Xu Feng whispered and promised he would bring him to the emptiness realm if his actions ahead were satisfactory.

Shao Kun was a person who had long been adventurous and heard many things, he naturally knew that the mortal realm was only the first realm on the path of cultivation so his face reddened with excitement upon hearing Xu Feng's promise.

He would scorn if it came out of someone else's mouth, but Xu Feng was different, Shao Kun was sure that his master could actually achieve it. After all, Shao Kun had always thought that Xu Feng must be from the family of the capital from which he came to believe.

“What's wrong between you?”

Ding Xiang looked at Xu Feng strangely, all he saw were two men whispering back and forth in front of the woman, he even felt a little funny looking at her.

“It's about women, I just asked Shao Kun to find myself a woman.” Xu Feng waved his hand flatly and tried to pull out a joke, but what happened was beyond his expectations.

Hundreds of flying kitchen utensils curved beautifully in the air, the turns were like a parabola and everything was directed at Xu Feng.

For a Fourth Stage, those things were easy for Xu Feng to avoid, but when the flying ones started to change from kitchen utensils to kitchen knives, Xu Feng inevitably let out cold sweat.

“Sial, you tried to kill me!” Xu Feng cursed and stood up from the chair, he jumped up and dodged the kitchen knife. Not yet able to sigh in relief, there were even more that came after.

Xu Feng wanted to cry inwardly, he had already decided to hold a village meeting later to restrict the equipment that would fill the Villa in the future. Otherwise, Xu Feng was afraid that he would die at the hands of a girl before reaching the top of the world.
